Mukhriz's goal to turn Kedah into developed state

Newly appointed Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir has
asked the people to work together with him to fully tap their and the
state's potential to be a developed state.

"I pledge to work hard for Kedahans and Kedah.
"I want all of you to work with me to achieve our common goal of
harmony and prosperity," he said to a thunderous applause from some 500
people who gathered at Wisma Jerlun here yesterday.
Mukhriz, who is also the Ayer Hitam assemblyman, said this after he
made an unannounced visit to his constituency, one of two state seats
under the Jerlun parliamentary constituency.
Yesterday was also his first day as Kedah's 11th menteri besar.
His visit caught many by surprise but despite the short notice, many of
his constituents, mostly farmers and fishermen, stopped what they were
doing and rushed to the hall to welcome their "wakil rakyat", who is
also the first from their constituency to become Kedah's menteri besar.
Mukhriz, accompanied by his wife Datin Norzieta Zakaria and Kota
Siputeh assemblyman Datuk Abu Hasan Sarif, said he made it his personal
goal to "to transform Kedah into the most developed state in the
country".
"I will work very hard on this. We will all work together to achieve at
least to be on a par with other states like Selangor, Penang and
Johor."
He said with good plans, planning and execution and most of all, support from the people, Kedah could achieve greater heights.
"Nothing is impossible if we share a common goal. Barisan Nasional did the impossible in Kedah.
"We have recaptured the state from the opposition.
"As such, I strongly believe there is nothing that all of us cannot do for our beloved state."
His audience reciprocated his vision for the people and state with another round of rapturous applause.
Mukhriz also said Kedah Barisan Nasional would hold a mass thanksgiving
kenduri for the people at Seri Mentaloon in Anak Bukit soon.

Tolerating intolerance

Intolerance is rampant at every level and in all age groups of the society, but it is more visible amongst the younger generation as our youth can be seen losing their altitude of patience over petty issues. We seriously need to think over it as what we are going to inculcate in them, which may help them seek success in future. Will it be tolerance or intolerance?

International Conference "Expose War Crimes – Criminalise War"

“Wars increasingly involve the killings of innocent people and are therefore, abhorrent and criminal. Killings in war are as criminal as the killings within societies in times of peace. Since killings in peace time are subject to the domestic law of crime, killings in war must likewise be subject to the international law of crimes. This should be so irrespective of whether these killings in war are authorised or permitted by domestic laws.”
